CoolerMaster Mastercase Pro 5 or NZXT S340

Hi,

I was wondering which case i should get. They both look good but my build theme is red+black which makes me lean towards the S340. I'm worried about cable management because the only gap that leads to the back is that bar. The mastercase pro 5 looks good, is very modular and I hear it has good cable management. I would love some advice.

 

Thanks

Though the CM will have better airflow, therefore better temperatures.

First of all, the Mastercase pro 5 costs 50 dollars more...

 

Do you ever think you'll want to swap out things in your case for upgrades? What kind of design do you prefer (are you the type that likes something with a lot of flashy lights and a lot of things going on or a minimalistic, subtle design kind of like what apple does)?

 

If you answer yes, a lot of things going on then go Mastercase pro 5.

If you answer yes, minimalistic think about whether you think the extra 50 bucks is worth the modularity for you.

If you answer no, a lot of things going on maybe... You should find a different case lol

If you answer no, minimalistic get the s340.

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

There are more gaps around the motherboard for cables to go in the S340. If you don't see them, it's because they are well placed.

The S340 is hard to go wrong with and extremely easy to manage cables in. The Mastercase Pro is also great but it larger and is a larger investment towards customizing with their kits.
